Recent research by Henrik Svensmark and his group at the Danish National
Space Center points to the real cause of the recent warming trend. In a
series of experiments on the formation of clouds, these scientists have
shown that fluctuations in the Sun's output cause the observed changes in the
Earth's temperature.

In the past, scientists believed the fluctuations in the Sun's output were
too small to cause the observed amount of temperature change, hence the need
to look for other causes like carbon dioxide. However, these new
experiments show that fluctuations in the Sun's output are in fact large
enough, so there is no longer a need to resort to carbon dioxide as the
cause of the recent warming trend.

The discovery of the real cause of the recent increase in the Earth's
temperature is indeed a convenient truth. It means humans are not to blame
for the increase. It also means there is absolutely nothing we can, much
less do, to correct the situation.

Mike Lockwood of the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Claus Froehlich of the World Radiation Center in Switzerland published a paper in 2007[3] that concludes the increase in mean global temperature observed since 1985 correlates so poorly with solar variability that no type of causal mechanism may be ascribed to it.

Your second link is a little odd as it actually refutes the idea, if you follow the link and go to the appropraite section, you get to these two pages:

I usually don't discuss global warming. I will admit that I don't think anyone really knows if global warming is real or if it is merely an opinion that has snowballed over time. When I was a young boy (back during Rusty's mild life crisis), I remember that chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs were, "causing the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica to grow." CFCs have been banned en mass for quite sometime and the hole in the ozone layer remains and is growing due to, what was recently admitted, solar activity.

Global warming IS real - it's proveable and irrefuteable, no-one who has the slightest understanding seriously questions it, it is the cause that is doubted by some, not the fact that it is happening.

As for CFC's, the ozone hole was always predicted to grow for some considerable time before it started to receed. Like throwing logs on the fire, the fire blazes for quite a while after the last log has been added and it takes time for it to die down again. The last comment is unsubstantiated and if this guys understanding of science is anything like his first two blunders, not worth following any further.

In the same way that the web seems to make everyone a doctor, it also convinces some that they are scientists. You can find stuff on the web to back up any theory, from aliens kidnapping Elvis to a conspiracy a day for the rest of your life.

Nothing has been discovered, but you seem very eager to absolve yourself of any blame. If you are going to make some kind of "revelation" here at least follow your own links and make it look like you read them.

Nothing proven, looks like another case of making your mind up and then looking for "proof" to back you up. This is why science is best left to scientists rather than asking somebody on an internet forum what they reckon is happening.

There are the Season's changes on the scale of Universe, and Galaxy,
And our Star cluster, and sure, Sun. But so are land Season's changes.
Still, farmers don't rely on it like proponent of " hell with it" travesty,
They use experience, science, turn the soil, and plant - for ages.

Nobody knows - because best plagiarized, in angry infamy,
Because official sciences controlled, by races of dummies,
Whether and how much the human's interferences works.
One thing we know, the Atmosphere is easy be swarmed
By slightest change of temperature and Wind power walls.

The wind power walls already make stronger storms to go
Around Eastern USA and hit it in the South, and North too.
The weather also changes - damaging agriculture...
